I use a modified config file to make it easy when moving sites from server to server. I have never used this config file with the MSM.
I normally override the CP and define the site template directory like this:
$config['tmpl_file_basepath'] = "/absolute/path/public_html/templates/";This works just fine for one site but when I I use it with the MSM it sets both sites to that path.
Is there a way to set this config variable per site?

Hi B.J.
In each site’s index.php file you can set config variables. Have a look at the $assign_to_config array where you could set this variable:
/*
* --------------------------------------------------------------------
* CUSTOM CONFIG VALUES
* --------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* The $assign_to_config array below will be passed dynamically to the
* config class. This allows you to set custom config items or override
* any default config values found in the config.php file. This can
* be handy as it permits you to share one application between more then
* one front controller file, with each file containing different
* config values.
*
* Un-comment the $assign_to_config array below to use this feature
*
* NOTE: This feature can be used to run multiple EE "sites" using
* the old style method. Instead of individual variables you'll
* set array indexes corresponding to them.
*
*/
// $assign_to_config['template_group'] = '';
// $assign_to_config['template'] = '';
// $assign_to_config['site_index'] = '';
// $assign_to_config['site_404'] = '';
// $assign_to_config['global_vars'] = array(); // This array must be associative
/**
* If you are running the Multiple Site Manager, uncomment and assign the following variables
* See <a href="http://expressionengine.com/public_beta/docs/cp/sites/domainsetup.html">http://expressionengine.com/public_beta/docs/cp/sites/domainsetup.html</a>

// $assign_to_config['site_name'] = '';
// $assign_to_config['cp_url'] = '';
// $assign_to_config['site_url'] = '';Cheers

Thanks Greg
I was so focussed on the config file it never occurred to me to set it in the site index.php file despite going there to set the site_name during the MSM setup :(
All is working… Thanks!
